The quality payments review date is drawing near. In the current tough financial environment pharmacy contractors need to ensure that they claim whatever is available from the NHS. Contractors need to ensure that they meet as many quality payment criteria as possible to maximise their QPS payment.

Risk Management is involved in a number of criteria in the QPS scheme, specifically

On the day of the review, 80% of all registered pharmacy professionals working at the pharmacy have satisfactorily completed the CPPE Risk Management training
has an example of a risk review that the pharmacy team at the premises have drawn up for a risk in that pharmacy
has a written patient safety report at premises level available for inspection
the pharmacy actively identifies and manages the risks associated with specified look-alike sound-alike errors (LASA)
the pharmacy uploads any LASA incident reports to the NRLS

The LPC is providing a workshop for pharmacy contractors to help you ensure that you can claim for these risk management related criteria on 15th February 2019, the review day.

The workshop will include

A brief overview of the CPPE Risk Management workbook
Identified key points to help pharmacy professionals complete the CPPE Risk Management assessment
The opportunity to partly complete a patient safety report and create an action plan to complete it
The opportunity to develop a hazzard assessment to meet the requirements of the QPS scheme

A buffet will be available at the LPC offices from 6.45pm
